If, for some completely irrational reason, you’ve ignored the advice in Tip #2, have entered a logo during the opening hours of a logo contest, and it’s scrolled back 4 pages, we still have a chance of winning that illusive prize money. “How so?” you ask. By performing design contest necromancy.
Simply take your earlier entry, perform a few perfunctionary changes and enter it again. Just before the contest ends. As you’ve already entered an earlier design that’s very close to this one, it wouldn’t hurt if you added a nice little note in the comments section to explain it’s re-appearance. Always start off the note with a personal touch
“Mr/Ms [Contest Holder,] I was thinking more about your [subject of logo] business and how you had mentioned [take some contest holder quote from the brief or other comments.] Well, I thought this revision of my earlier attempt was better because [add some rationale for the minute changes].“
That will boost your design to the top of the contest page, and your comment will be at the top of the comments section. Keep this in mind too – contest holders are usually given a week or so after the contest to choose a winner. Shouldn’t your design and comments be the first thing they see when they log in? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
